Gekitotsu! Satsujin ken (The Street Fighter, 1974)

"But don't worry, Mutaguchi, there's an evil code of conduct - and I'm very tight-lipped."

US importers were looking for a new Bruce Lee after #the star's untimely death‚ and this was the film they decided would revitalise the genre; dubbed and cut it was a smash hit (and became the #first film to earn an X rating in the US for violence alone). it's easy to see why; this is thrilling stuff even if Chiba's amoral #mercenary is a world away from Lee's dignified everyman (in the first act he literally sells a woman as a sex slave; you'd never have #caught one of Lee's characters doing that). the action is spectacular and grotesque‚ including a cut to x ray for a man's shattering skull #(the origin of those fatality screens in fighting games). it also leant it's name to the Street Fighter game series in an unofficial #capacity. lurid and nasty but a lot of fun and by god Chiba was a hell of a performer: where Lee was all about speed and control‚ Chiba is #like a wild animal‚ running up people's bodies and fucking them up while he snarls and pants. an acquired taste perhaps but i dig it #and it's not just action! Chiba brings real pathos to scenes of loss in the last act‚ and his murky motivations make for intriguing viewing

On April 12, 2019, Sister Street Fighter and Lady Street Fighter were screened as a double-feature on TCM Underground.

Here's some new art inspired by both features!

Dragon Princess (Kohira Yutaka, 1976)

Whatever happened to karate? It seemed like it was all that was available when i was a kid and now looking at martial arts options for my kid it's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, some face-pounding MMA or bust. And what happened to it as a film genre? It looks so stylish and graceful in a fight scene. So does Shihomi Etsuko. Here's a potboiler movie to showcase her talents
